Q&A plugin - Help with Archive page, featured questions

Hi Guys,

Just signed up for a membership. Was wondering if I could get some assistance with the Q&A plugin.

Here they are:

I need to add questions into an archive page of my site. Right now nothing shows up when I visit site.com/archive-questions. Am using the twenty twelve theme. Also I was also wondering how to do it so if the question is in the archive then it doesn't appear on the main questions page?

I need to have a featured question for each category, is this possible? So if you go to the category page the featured question and a snippet of the content from that question will always be on the top and then the list of all other questions. Can this be done, if so could I get some help please?

Is it possible to rename "questions" to something else in the admin area. I've managed to do it in the url but can't seem to change it in the admin.

I'm not too familiar with WordPress but yes, so somewhere in the admin maybe I can mark the question as archived and once I do so, it'll drop into the archive section of the main site and won't appear on the main questions page.

Is there anyway/anyone who can assist me with this or is that not possible.

If you look in qa.php there is a table of Rewrite slugs that will let you change the default slug used for the various types. That changes the URL and the references in the code. If you need other thing renamed you can use the language translation file to change most anything.

What your calling an Archive in WordPress is simple all listings that belong to a given post type, category tag or other taxonomy. There's no such thing as marking it Archived.

So if you go to /questions/ you're viewing the Wordpress archive for all question post type messages. If you used a category like /questions/categories/music/ you'll get the archive of all music questions.

Answers while a custom post type are not independent. They are treated as attachments to Questions so they travel with them so to speak.

So you can display by category fairly easy but if you need some arbitrary attribute like your "Archived" flag you'll need to do custom programming.
